Assuming Louisville will be ranked fairly high next year due to the Sugar Win, and a lot of returnees, that could be a great add. An early season win over a [highly?] ranked opponent just might get them to the top of the poll before conference season. [If they don't start there, which I don't think they will]

Hell WVU bought out of their FSU game this year in the like May, forcing FSU to have to scramble and bring in a 1-AA school in its place.

Anything can happen with those first 2 or 3 games, particularly with all the conference shuffling and money moves now.

Playing here is the closest thing to heaven. Really, I mean it's amazing to be in a place where the fans truly cherish their football team and stick behind them win or lose. We players love them, too. I feel a sense of accomplishment playing here, we are a special breed of football players with a great opportunity." ~ tOSU LB Brian Rolle

That is a great game for viewers but I am not sure that it is a game that Buckeye fans should want. A great, young QB on a hungry, well coached team that early in the season against a D replacing pretty much everyone.... tOSU would have a good shot at dropping that game.

I am not saying that tOSU would lose that game, but I am saying that it is pretty much a perfect storm. Late in the season, that would be a fine game, but for a team that will be struggling to find its defensive identity? That would be a scary game.

Coming from a Wolverine, we're the football equivalent of a formerly abused wife of a meth addict who just remarried the safe nice guy. We're just glad we have someone who's aware that it's a rivalry and that tackling on defense is integral. Baby steps.

It would also be a great warm-up to facing Johnny Football in NCG

"Cocaine is a hell of a drug" - Originated from a famous skit in Dave Chappelle's "Chappelle's Show". The skit would portray Rick James, usually high on cocaine, preforming doing crazy and stupid things, such as smacking Charlie Murphy in the face. Rick James would frequently explain away his actions by saying "Cocaine is a hell of a drug".
